Vultures Don't Sing

They came around the week it happened

With careful hands and careful eyes

Asking how I'm holding up

And what exactly did he say at the end

Vultures don't sing

They don't have to

They wait until the noise dies down

And then they come for you

There was a man who didn't ask me anything

He sat in the car park for an hour

He drove me back and didn't put a thing on

And I have loved him ever since

Vultures don't sing

They circle and they smile

They tell me that I'm being so brave

While they're working out the size of it

And the hardest part is that I understand them

If I were them I'd probably come too

There's a lot of me lying open

And most of it is still worth having

Vultures don't sing

So I've been doing it for them

Every note of this was a piece of him

And they'll be back when I run out

He sat in the car park for an hour
